Plan your next Windswept session
Our independent guide helps you approach Windswept’s open‑ended platforming without relying on undocumented shortcuts. By observing stage layouts, leader traits, and co‑op dynamics, you can develop a methodical playstyle that gradually reduces retries and uncovers hidden content.
01 / THE GUIDE
Collectible Mapping
Pick a single stage and note the locations of all visible collectibles. Compare these spots to nearby obstacles; patterns often suggest natural routes that minimise backtracking.
- Spend time scanning each area for hidden items; they often reward curiosity.
- Notice how different obstacles react to each leader’s abilities for alternative paths.
02 / THE GUIDE
Ability Contrast Test
Tackle the same platforming segment first with Marbles, then with Checkers. Record how each ability interacts with the environment to identify which leader excels at particular challenges.
- Swap leaders when a puzzle feels stuck; a fresh ability may open a route.
- Combine moves from both leaders to create personal solutions.
03 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Timing Drill
In shared‑screen mode, assign each player a different leader. Practice synchronising their actions to clear a short segment, highlighting the benefit of combined abilities.
- Discuss which leader each player will control before starting a segment.
- Use the shared screen to keep both perspectives visible for synchronized platforming.
04 / THE GUIDE
Hidden Challenge Hunt
After completing a stage, revisit it with the sole purpose of locating any hidden challenges. This reinforces memory of the layout and improves overall platforming awareness.
- Treat each failure as a clue; patterns often emerge after several attempts.
- After completing a stage, search for hidden challenges to extend practice.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cloud Sync Check
Play a stage on one Windows PC, then close the game and open it on another. Confirm that your progress appears, ensuring Steam Cloud is functioning as intended.
- Enable Steam Cloud in the client to protect your saves.
- Invite a friend via Remote Play Together for instant co‑op without extra installations.
